Houston Family Outraged over picture of Whitney's body

According to  TMZ the Houston family is "disgusted" about the recent leak of Whitney's casket picture. The picture shows Whitney in a purple dress laying peacefully in her casket. Unfortunately the picture will be on the front cover of the National Enquirer. The picture was taken in the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, NJ. Of course the funeral home denies any wrong doing. Carolyn Whigham the owner of the funeral home said, "We have no comment but it was not the funeral home. Whitney was a personal friend to me and my family. We would not do that. I am very angry, very upset just like the family, just like the fans"


There have been reports that the photographer of this picture can make up to 500,000 dollars.




The National Enquirer should be ashamed of publishing a picture and even worst, put it on the front cover. I understand that they have a business to run and they need to make money but this is just disrespectful on all levels. They made no apologies either. The editor of the National Enquirer, Mary Beth Wright says "I thought the picture was beautiful." They also refused to give up the photographer's name.
Yes Whitney looks beautiful in the picture but they are using a very sensitive issue to make money. I feel horrible for Whitney's family especially her mother and her eighteen year old daughter Bobbi Kristina. The family has already been through enough with the negative press and now they have to deal with this issue. The Houston family were very kind to broadcast the funeral service on TV and on the Internet so her fans can say their final goodbyes to the singer.

I hope that it wasn't any close friends or family that took that picture. It would be less heartbreaking if a complete stranger did this horrendous act than an actual family member or friend.

There hasnt been any word if the Houston family will do an investigation on who submitted the picture or seeking any legal action.

Will Chris Brown ever be forgiven?

Singer Chris Brown won his first Grammy award last Sunday, he also performed twice. Three years ago Chris Brown and his girlfriend Rihanna got into a physical altercation on the eve of the Grammys. Since then he has apologized numerous times and he  served his sentence. Alot of people were not pleased that he was able to attend the Grammys and they let their feelings be known on Twitter. Country singer Miranda Lambert was not happy and she questioned why he was able to perform twice and she also took it upon herself to remind everyone that he beat on a girl. At one of her shows on Saturday, she said that "where I'm from, beating on a woman is never okay. So thats why my daddy taught me early in life how to use a shotgun" I think Miranda and everybody else needs to let the boy live. He has done so much to change his behavior by attending anger management classes, he served his sentence and he apologized numerous times. I am in no way condoning what he did because it really was a horrible situation but at the end of the day, none of us were in the car when the incident happened. People do make mistakes, nobody is perfect. What is Chris supposed to do not make music anymore and work at McDonalds? The man has to make a living too and if everyone's faults mattered then nobody will be able to work. Rihanna has even forgiven him and they have recorded a song together called "Cake." I know alot of people will be very angry with Rihanna  because she is allowing Chris back into her life and she doesnt seem to care anymore. If they can move on, why cant everybody else?
